The Mutex ownership change seems to climb with waiting threads.
Its hard to tell with the log-n X-axis scale, but does this possibly
correlate to the deadlock-detect option?
If Deadlock-detect is enabled we should be seeing a graph proportional
to n-squared on a linear X axis.
If deadlock detect is disabled, the wait time should plateau for very
large N.

It could be. I have been running all the tests mainly as stress and
functionality tests.

The original run script ran up to 7500 waiting threads. I ran a version
that only went up to 400 threads.
When I get full performance data I'll post it.
